I'm experiencing a dry cough after I eat. Could this be a sign of a throat infection or something else? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.

I've been dealing with nasal blockage for about six months now, and it turns out my turbinates are swollen, at least that's what the ENT doctor said. I caught Covid-19 last year, and I'm not sure if it's related but no medication seems to help. I'm using saline drops to manage the situation, but I'm really wondering if surgery is my only option to fix the swollen turbinates. Also, could allergy shots be a good alternative? And I'm kinda nervous about the surgerydoes it cause Empty Nose Syndrome? I'd love to hear the best advice on this.

I had throat pain a few days ago, and though that's gotten better, I've started having this cough. Also, I noticed a small flap-like skin beneath my tongue, deep in my throat. I think it's my epiglottis. Is it normal to be able to see the epiglottis? I don't seem to have any other symptoms but just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about.

That could be chronic pharyngitis,no need to worry visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,consume warm foods and do salt water gargling for a better result.
